    The stones? Really? It was something the team had discussed and agreed before they even got off the bus.

    Absolutely. Notts clearly prepared thoroughly for pens and Mair was deemed the man to bring on. But you have still got to do it. Williams still had to make that choice. Massive, massive stones.

    Regardless when it was decided. Williams ultimately carried the can for that choice. Also, a club doing that much work on an outcome that was not even guaranteed to come about is the antithesis of one dimensional.

    Some of the revisionism of Williams is astounding.

    It was a no brainer putting Mair in for the penalties. Slocombe had never saved a penalty throughout his career..

    It very easy to say no brainer so far on after the event.

    If you said that in the lead up to and on the day, then absolutely fair play Durham. Maybe you are wasted on here.

    But I still maintain the fact that Williams has to take credit for still choosing to do it on the day. He is the man who would have had to have answered to everything if we had lost.
